REVIEW
Susanne Friis Søndergaard, Anne Bendix Andersen, Kirsten Frederiksen
BACKGROUND: The field of Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) has developed over the past six decades. However, the definition of roles and responsibilities of APN nurses seem to be contested due to both a lack of a clear definition of the concept and to institutional and cultural barriers that restrict the nurses' opportunities to practise to the full extent of their competencies. AIM: The objective of this scoping review was to identify, examine and conceptually map the available literature on APN nurses' core competencies for general health assessment in primary health care...

BACKGROUND: The electronic medication administration record (eMAR) is an eHealth system that has replaced the traditional paper-based medication administration used in many healthcare settings. Research has highlighted that eHealth technologies can change working methods and professional roles in both expected and unexpected ways. To date, there is sparse research that has explored how nurses and nurse assistants (NA) in home healthcare experience eMAR in relation to their work environment...

INTRODUCTION: Stroke poses challenges to the physiological, psychosocial and spiritual well-being of affected individuals. As the impacts of stroke might not be reversible, a shift in focus to providing care is desirable. Visual art interventions using visual and symbolic art can help participants to express their feelings, give them a sense of choice and the feeling that they are retaining a sense of control, promote insights, restructure their sense of cognition and instil hope. There have been few studies on visual art interventions involving older people with stroke and none in residential care homes (RCHs)...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Anne Sophie Ågård, Gitte Susanne Rasmussen, Hanne Mainz, Merete Gregersen, Tina Wang Vedelø
BACKGROUND: Worldwide visitor restrictions forced nurses to separate patients from their relatives. However, the experience of implementing shifting restrictions from the frontline nurses' perspectives in a Danish context has yet to be assessed. AIM: The aim of this descriptive qualitative study was to explore frontline nurses' experiences of managing shifting visitor restrictions in a Danish somatic university hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: An online questionnaire, including open-ended questions, was developed...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Linn Hege Førsund, Evelyn Schumacher
BACKGROUND: Norwegian society's resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in low mortality rates and moderate economic decline. The accessible primary healthcare system played a vital role in this, especially in the care of elderly and chronically ill patients. However, nurses in home care experienced emotional burdens, ethical dilemmas and limited access to protective equipment. These challenges were overshadowed by media coverage of hospital struggles, and municipal home care services were oddly absent from post-pandemic reports...

REVIEW
Suzanne Parkman, Jill Olausson
BACKGROUND: The progressive nature of dementia leaves the person vulnerable and dependent on others for care. While persons with dementia often have better outcomes when cared for at home, it can lead to personal challenges and self-neglect of the caregiver. Mindfulness-based interventions such as yoga can lessen the potential negative effects encountered by caregivers of persons with dementia. AIM: The aim of this review was to synthesise available empirical research related to the role of yoga on the biopsychosocial health outcomes for caregivers of persons with dementia population...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Anne Mette Juul Andersen, Signe Smith Jervelund, Helle Terkildsen Maindal, Nana Folmann Hempler
BACKGROUND: Effective self-management of type 2 diabetes requires adequate health literacy (HL) and a supportive network. Diabetes self-management education and support programmes play a crucial role in improving these factors. However, limited research exists on how such programmes can support health literacy among migrants and facilitate the dissemination of knowledge within their social networks. AIM: This study aimed to investigate the perspectives of Arabic-speaking informants with a migrant background in relation to how their type 2 diabetes-related health literacy was acquired, applied and distributed within social networks through participation in a culturally sensitive diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) programme...

REVIEW
Viivi Tikkanen, Kay Sundberg
BACKGROUND: Ambulance care is characterised by disaster medicine, traumatology and care for acute illnesses and accidents. The focus of ambulance care is clearly on medical care, whereas interpersonal interaction between patients and ambulance clinicians appears less prioritised. A patient within ambulance care needs to be listened to, be taken seriously, be treated with empathy and be seen as a unique person. These are fundamental to delivering Person-centred care. AIM: The purpose is to describe how the care relationship and interaction between patients and ambulance clinicians in prehospital emergency care are described in the literature and how they can be interpreted from a person-centred perspective...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Anna Hjalmarsson, Gunnel Östlund, Margareta Asp, Birgitta Kerstis, Mats Holmberg
BACKGROUND: Participation in care is considered to promote safe and qualitative care. Care-dependent older persons ageing in place have increased emergency care needs, which initiate inter-organisational collaboration involving municipal home care and ambulance services. Previous research concludes that uncertainties exist regarding what participation in care means in clinical practice, which necessitates the need to illuminate the phenomenon for older persons in critical life situations...

BACKGROUND: Transfers to the emergency department can be burdensome for the residents of long-term residential care facilities (LTRCFs) and often lead to adverse effects. Since March 2019, a nurse-led acute outreach service unit "Mobile hospital" (in Finnish, Liikkuva sairaala, LiiSa) has been providing on-site care to LTRCF residents to reduce transfers to the emergency department. METHODS: This study compares the numbers and acuities of emergency medical service (EMS) missions carried out in the LTRCFs of Espoo and Kauniainen during two six-month periods: before the implementation of LiiSa and with LiiSa in use...
